Welcome to Biggerpockets @Mark Esbensen. Getting educated would be the best way to start. You can start with the course on the Ultimate Beginner's Guide. You can find it under Education.

Hi Mark, I am from PA, Northampton county. We are looking to move on our first flip shortly. There are local real estate meetings which are great resources in addition to Bigger Pockets. There is one per week the first 3 weeks of the months, all free. A different person runs each one and they are all at different locations. If interested, inbox me.

@Mark Esbensen welcome to BP! Best/first thing to do is get educated. Read read read! Read books on investing in real estate, listen to the podcasts, attend webinars and stay active on the forums while connecting with other investors in your area and pick a niche. Best of luck!
